Damn, I guess it's time for me to break down and do the DVR thing.

I love the Earnhart Sr. move! It also reminds me of a high, hard one from Pedro or Roger (baseball reference for our international audience). It keeps the other guy thinking. Even if Rossi never does that again, if someone is in that position again with him this season, they'll have to be thinking - oh $hit, is he gonna bump me here????

moto gp on today 125/250 12;00 tuesday big bikes to follow 1:00-2:00 speed vision Id say sete hit Val. I think since vision is a factor sete thought he had won last corner he was prob looking through that corner and at the start finish line, sometimes you gotta stick a wheel in there and hope they see you some times they do and sometimes they dont

Rossi was hot and was inside the apex , which will always cause you to run wide after apex . He messed up , I believe he dove below Gib on purpose , but he ran wide cause because of physics . As for penaltys , I dont think there should be any . I do hope someone does the same to Rossi though .

Quote from: "smooth operator"

I thought it was a Ernhart move too. I was intersted on how things would go at the post race conference. Sete kept his composure pretty good. But then I thought he tried to jam Rossi 1st,but then Rossi ended up jamming him in the end. I wish I'd have taped it! it sure would be worth another look.

If it was an Earnhardt move the guy would've been knocked down and hit the wall and perhaps both knocked of 'em out. The was a finesse move all the way (perhaps a Jeff Gordon move?), no one went down and both finshed. Really I don't know who hit who, but Rossi put himself in better position since he won.

Rossi: fastest man on the planet

like he said, "....was de last lap, what ya goona do? I know Sete gotta be mad...but hey what!?"

hell, this is the best racing I've seen in years. And every bike is different too. not just cookies cutters: !-3, I-4, V-4, V-5, desmo, peunmatic, big bang, little bang,,,man it's all there.

I wanna go to Laguna, I got to find a way.

Caught the race today while on lunch break and it was an awesome race. Maybe it's the standard in MotoGP these days but I was floored by braking techniques that resulted in the rear wheel leaving the ground.... not once or twice but several times into one curve!!!!

That my friends is being one with the machine!!!!!!!!

Here's a quick clip from a different angle than what was shown on SpeedTV. Rossi is on the inside, Sete is the other bike.

Man, from that shot, it looks like Rossi is holding a great line and Sete comes down into him.

certainly looked like a legal move to me.

heres a close up of how sete hurt his back.

From what I can see, it certainly looks like Rossi was holding his line, Sete moved into him.

Thanks , that angle makes it look like if anything Sete was wrong , not Rossi

Either way, it would appear that, at this stage, Sete is out of the next GP.
